Sir Frederick Joseph Wall was an English football player and administrator. Wall played for the Royal Engineers, and after retiring became Secretary of the Football Association, a position he held from 1895 to 1934. He was knighted in 1930, and famously called Jimmy Hogan a traitor after the latter spent the duration of World War One in Europe.[1] After retiring as FA Secretary, he was a director of Arsenal from 1934 to 1938.[2]
